Dafa disciples in mainland China, Dafa disciples around the
world, Happy New Year! The Year of Yiyou has begun. During this year, Fa-rectification’s
enormous force will bring changes to mankind. That being the case, all the more
so should you do well the three things that Dafa disciples should do, let go of
attachments, and not look with human thoughts at what Dafa disciples need to
recognize: the persecution and the true nature of the evil Party that has been
persecuting us.

We have not been doing political work, we have not been picking fights with the
human race’s real evil cult, and even less so do we want any worldly political
power. During the persecution, we must be clear that we are saving the people in
the world who have been misled by the Party’s culture, because they believe in
that cult so much that they won’t even listen to the truth. Also, what we are
doing is having those students who are not clearheaded on this issue recognize
its evil nature. It is a human attachment that must be let go and a step that
has to be taken as part of the process of validating the Fa. Don’t use human
notions to judge the Fa-rectification or the form in which Dafa disciples
cultivate, and don’t always prolong the process of improving your understanding
due to your human thoughts. You are people walking the path to godhood, and
every single attachment will hinder you.

The path that Master tells you to take is sure to be righteous. I hope you will
complete—soberly, rationally, and with righteous thoughts—your journey to
Consummation.
